How to render mp4 thumbnails in Nautilus?

Hello.

I upgraded reinstalled from Fedora 31 to Fedora Silverblue 32.

Suddenly I have no thumbnails in Nautilus for .mp4 video files. Is there any package I have to install to get those?

Thanks.

After doing some digging online, it seems you may need to do one of two (or both) of the following:

  1. Install gstreamer plugins (not sure exactly which one).
  2. Clear out old thumbnail cache.

This post from the older Askbot seems to have the most information that might help you.

Solution: rpm-ostree install totem and reboot. Of course, also the proper gstreamer plugin if missing.
